Chapter Thirty-Nine: Iron Armor Crocodile

  Qin Li was taken aback for a moment, and then he came to his senses. With a loud shout, he sprang into the air and kicked the black creature with all his might. In an instant, Qin Li felt as if he had kicked a iron plate, hard and heavy!

  "Hiss!"

  The monster let out a mournful cry filled with anger, its body kicked flying by Qin Li towards the riverbank. The small river was only 7-8 meters wide, and before Qin Li's body even hit the ground, his internal energy surged forth rapidly, allowing him to suspend himself in mid-air like an eagle grasping a rabbit. He swiftly drew out the fine steel sword from behind his back and stabbed it towards where the monster had fallen!

  It happened suddenly, and Baiyunyan only came back to her senses at this moment, slightly opening her mouth, a pair of beautiful charming eyes wide open, muttering: "What kind of kung fu is this? Huangji first stage?"

  Qin Li infused his yuan force into the sword in his hand, and the long sword emitted a slight tremble. A pale purple gas emerged from the tip of the sword, shooting out half a foot long. This purple gas was extremely sharp, instantly cutting open the entire back of the scaled monster, which was as hard as an iron plate. The monster let out a loud roar, opened its mouth and spat out a white ice arrow, shooting it towards Qin Li.

  Qin Li dodged to the side, and the ice arrow brushed past his shoulder. A chill ran down his spine, causing him to shiver involuntarily. The monster was still hidden in the bushes, its appearance unclear. However, Qin Li's previous sword strike had severely injured it. Without any hesitation, Qin Li struck again at the dark, scaly creature in the bushes, aiming directly at the wound he had just inflicted. From top to bottom, his sword pierced through!

  The monster's body stiffened suddenly, and with a "ka-ching" sound, Qin Li's newly purchased high-carbon steel sword was snapped in two! However, the monster also died an absolute death.

  At this time, a voice came from afar, and Ahu and others who had not gone far heard the movement here and hurried back. They saw Buxiaoyan still standing there in a daze, while Qin Li stood on the other side of the small river.

  "What's going on?" Ah Hu asked in a low voice.

  Bu Yunyan hastily said: "Qin Li was fishing and a monster came out of the water. It was very terrifying, but it seems to have been killed."

  At this time, Qin Li bent down and pulled the tail of the thing from the ground, lifting it up. The monster, which was only over a meter long, surprisingly weighed nearly 100 kilograms. Qin Li looked at the creature, which somewhat resembled an alligator, and said to Ah Hu: "I was fishing, who would have thought I'd catch this thing? Ah Hu, do you recognize this thing?" Qin Li suddenly discovered that not only Ah Hu, but also Cold Beauty Leng Yao, Old He with his smiling face, and Li Jian with his wooden expression, were all staring at him with an incredulous gaze.

  Baiyun Smoke couldn't help but let out a startled cry when she saw the strange creature in Qin Li's hand, then covered her small mouth with her hands, and also looked at Qin Li with a gaze as if looking at a monster.

  "What's going on with you guys? Do I have flowers on my face?" Qin Li said casually, holding the thing and tapping his toes lightly. The small river, about 7 or 8 meters wide, was nothing to Qin Li, and he landed instantly, without even stirring up much dust on the ground. This made everyone's gaze towards him even more bizarre.

  Boom!

  Qin Li saw these people with a ghostly expression, feeling both angry and amused, and directly threw the strange beast in front of Bu Yunyan.

  "Ah!"

  Baiyun let out a sharp cry, and his body quickly leapt backward several meters before he glared furiously at Qin Li: "You little brat, are you looking to die?"

  Qin Li smiled slyly: "Who made you all look like you've seen a ghost!"

  At this time, Ah Hu couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "Qin little brother, you can't blame us for this. Who would have thought that you were hiding so deeply? Your skills are so good to this extent, and yet there are still people who say you're a yellow rank first stage... damn it..."

  Ah Hu couldn't help but curse, then pointed at the black thing on the ground with a terrifying scaly armor and said: "Do you know what this thing is?"

  Qin Li shook his head and thought to himself, "Isn't this a waste of words? If I knew, why would I ask you?"

  "This thing is called Iron Shell Crocodile! A genuine spiritual beast!" He Lao San clicked his tongue in admiration, then gave Qin Li a thumbs up: "Brother, you're really something. We've camped by this river dozens of times, but we've never seen this thing before. Although it's a low-level spiritual beast, it's extremely cunning. Do you know how much its shell is worth?"

  "How much money?" As soon as he mentioned money, Qin Li's eyes lit up. He had no choice, this was what he lacked the most right now.

  Leng Yao gave Qin Li a cold glance, seemingly thinking that this kid was too greedy. The skin of the Iron Armor Crocodile was extremely valuable, and after being made into soft armor, ordinary swords and knives couldn't even scratch it. Saying it was impenetrable to blades wasn't an exaggeration!

  "This guy, looks like he's over a hundred years old? Your swordsmanship is indeed fierce, and you were able to pierce through, I estimate that it's worth at least 10,000 taels of silver!" He Lao San circled around the Iron Armor Crocodile twice, still sighing: "Your luck is incredible!"

  At this time, Ah Hu said: "I'm afraid it's not just that, you see, Qin brother's sword is stabbed right on the back of the Iron Armor Beast, even if it's made into armor, it's completely unharmed. If it were to be auctioned off at the Hunter's Guild, it would fetch at least 30,000 silver coins!"

  Everyone couldn't help but take a cold breath, 30,000 taels of silver! This is indeed not a small sum of money. With 50 taels of silver, you can buy a three-entry and three-exit mansion in the south of the city! Two thousand taels of silver can make a family of five live a life of abundance for generations!

  Even a wealthy family like the Qin family, with assets worth hundreds of millions, wouldn't ignore this amount!

  The eyes of the crowd looking at Qin Li, with a few more envy, this team, in the Hunter's Guild is considered top-notch, a year down, also only 100,000 two silver coins income, divided to each person's head, also only more than 10,000 two, because Ah Hu as the team leader, has to take the big head!

  This is the rule of the adventure team, those who are capable get more, and no one will be dissatisfied.

  Qin Li looked at everyone's gaze and secretly smiled in his heart, looking at Ah Hu who was speaking seriously: "Brother Ah Hu, how to deal with this guy, you have the final say!"

  Ah Hu was taken aback for a moment, then understood Qin Li's meaning. He waved his hand and said: "This won't do, hunters have their own rules. You hunted down this iron-armored alligator entirely by chance, independently obtained, according to the rules, dividing it among everyone as a bonus, each person getting several hundred taels of silver is already the limit. If we count it as a team effort, that's not allowed!"

  Everyone came to their senses at this time, and they all refused. They all knew Qin Li's situation. Although 30,000 taels of silver was not a small amount, it wasn't enough to make these generous hunters greedy.

  Qin's heart warmed up, seeing the wealth rise in his mind was something he had seen many times before. However, people like them who spoke of rules and regulations were becoming fewer and farther between. He smiled and said: "I told you this morning, since I joined your team, I am naturally a part of it. Ah Hu big brother, don't make excuses anymore. Originally, I just thought that if I could earn a hundred or two silver coins, I would be content. But this has far exceeded my expectations! If you want to consider me as a member of this team, then stop pushing me away. Otherwise, I'll turn around and leave!"

  Qin Li's words were as sharp as a knife, and Ah Hu and the others couldn't help but look at Qin Li with even more admiration. His skills were exceptional, his personality was bold and generous, and he was a man of his word - and to think that this was still just a child who hadn't yet come of age!

  "Alright!" Ah Hu patted Qin Li's shoulder heavily and said with some emotion: "You're a brother I can rely on!"

  Bùyún yān mèi yǎn rú sī de kàn zhe Qín lì, jiāo róu de shuō: "Qín dì xiōng, nǐ chéng fù wēng le, yào bù yào kǎo lǜ xià xiǎo nǚ zǐ, gěi nǐ zuò ge xiǎo qiè shén me de?"

  Translation:

  Baiyun's eyes were as soft as silk as she looked at Qin Li, and she said softly: "Qin brother, you've become a rich man now, would you like to consider taking this humble woman as your concubine or something?"

  Qin Li made a gesture of granting favor and smiled slyly: "Alright, come on over, give your old man a smile first?"

  "Get out of here! Drop dead!"
